craigeaglefire Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 it would be very useful to have a current list of Orbx Xbox products, that can be accessed on PC or tablet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Correia Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Assuming you own an Xbox, you can view what’s available in the Marketplace there. As of today, there is the Optica, NZ Mesh, London Landmarks, Singapore Landmarks and EGLC London City Airport available for Xbox. Onestore (I.e. not Steam)) customers that have purchased these titles through the Marketplace for the PC can access them on the Xbox provided they use the same gamertag across both devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosqr Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hi @Ed Correia Maybe it could be good to add an X box section here for easier access to the requested products for users of Xbox? Cheers Carlos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Adding a separate section for XBox on our site may lead to some customer confusion as it may infer that a purchase here will be available on the XBox. We can explore other methods of maintaining a public list of what is available for the console. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means in my case - I have ceased to buy any more items for the PC - other than from Microsoft for the sim - because I will definitely move to X box so that I can get a better resolution and use my 4K Monitors -- and one day - maybe Orbx and others can come to some arrangement with MS for 3rd Party direct - or the status quo of their sales thro MS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenn22 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 It'd make sense to have a X-Box section on the website, that would be redundant, like the partners page. And probably add an X-Box badge to the normal product page as well, to show compatibility. But not on Central, since you buy and manage addons for PC there - it'd be confusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little earlier - Ed told us that Orbx were working on something similar - and is certainly a need - because there are a few items - again as Ed said- are already available on Marketplace -which as far as I can make out are around 10% more than on Central - which at first I thought that might be the sales tax - but then both advertise prices MUST include the tax in Australia. (Unfortunately - when I get the X box - I have already purchased these items via Central) The assumption is - Orbx sells to MS - and MS add a margin Whatever the situation - Orbx should move heaven and earth to get their product onto a console that has sold almost 7 million despite the World Wide shortage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious about the 3rd parties with Orbx Central, since Orbx takes a percentage of their sales, and then if their airports get moved to Marketplace, where MS takes a similar percentage... ? Or Orbx would just move their 'native' products over, and the partners would be responsible for their own airports on Marketplace? ( which I think is more likely ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Orbx would just move their 'native' products over, and the partners would be responsible for their own airports on Marketplace? ( which I think is more likely ) No ! - I said somewhere else that the probable reason why so many smaller developers are coming to us via Orbx's Central - is they are looking to the future- and that's what Marketing is about - research and planning for the next step. It is logical - that MS will not want to deal with a Pot Pori - of suppliers - hence the bigger boys like - Orbx - Just Flight - etc who have successful years of selling and installing scenery and aircraft - will provide a wholesale supplier to MS - and MS - for a fee - (as discussed earlier) - will give Orbx JF - etc - the entry into the huge X Box World market via the Market place section of the sim There is another element to be considered-- in that a major part of the 2020 sim's success - is the huge influx of tiny - "hobbyists" -churning out massives of scenery and and other bits and pieces - like mods. - that enter into the sim via the Community files - which doesn't exist- at least at the moment in X Box I refer of course to the screaming success of Flightsim.to - and I can only forecast that these blokes - will get an invite to join the Orbx - Just Flight -etc - wholesale consortium - and work out a method whereby - all this very successful addon stuff - can make it to the X Box as well. They are already selling this 3rd party stuff themselves on their web site around 10% more than the producer's own web site. In summary - a Community type installing system will be made available in the X box software - via the Market Place for chosen wholesalers - as is already occurring with 3 or 4 Orbx sceneries - for some fee or addon price DSC structure Don't ask me how Orbx etc - and MS - handle Tech support - unless they take responsibility for supplying regular updates - which seems to be a policy - of MS currently with X Box games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
